Rising Sino - US Tension - "Weaponization" of the US-Dollar?

- Will there be a "weaponization" of the us-dollar?

With the rising tension between the world's two largest economies, U.S. and China, how can or will the US-dollar be "weaponized" between the two countries?

Topics to be discussed include:

How has the US-Dollar been weaponized previously?
SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication) - can it be used/abused?
What is the expectation for USD / CNY?
Will China push the digital currency (eYuan) to gain more independence?
How can companies prepare for what's coming?
